The Last of Us Praised Once Again With 10 BAFTA Nominations

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts have taken kindly to Naughty Dog’s Playstation 3 swan song. The Last of Us has the most nominations of any game, slightly beating Grand Theft Auto V with nine and Playstation Vita exclusive Tearaway with 8. The Last of Us was nominated for best action and adventure game, artistic achievement, audio achievement, best game, game design, best multiplayer, best music, best story, and best performance for Troy Baker (Joel) and Ashley Johnson (Ellie).

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch also picked up two nominations for artistic achievement and best story. The Last of Us recently received 10 awards at the DICE awards including game of the year earlier this month. It certainly seems like a good time to be a Playstation gamer with all these great games available on Sony’s three platforms. Check out our feature asking if the golden age of Playstation has begun here and let us know in the comments if you think The Last of Us will win big at the BAFTA awards in London on March 12th.
